CSKA fans favourite Theodoros Papaloukas is the winner of Eurobasket-2005! Today his National team defeated Germans in the final game – 78-62. And our player got an honorary place in the All-Tournament Team.
PBC CSKA congratulates Theodoros with this outstanding achievement! We are sure that you will continue making happy Army club supporters with your lambent and frank play. Play with a big Greek heart!
Theo was the main character on the field stage once again showing his ability to give a superb performance at the most important moment. Exactly because of Papaloukas’s (22 pt + 4 reb + 6 as +3 st) magical basketball Greeks managed to capture initiative right at the beginning and not to lose it till the end of the match. Papas was inimitable: he was everywhere and did everything – he made elegant assists and, catching his opponents on mistakes, steals, played tough defense, collected rebounds. And, if situation was proper, he didn’t refuse to drive to the basket in his own unique style or shoot from downtown. So as a result CSKA playmaker outshined everyone – even legendary (this competition only proved this status again) Dirk Nowitzki.
…The last day of the tournament started with another defeat of Russian National Team. Today we lost to Croatians in the game for the seventh place – 74-92. There is not too much sense to speak about this match, so we will amount to nothing more than Army men stats - Alexei Savrasenko (10 pt + 8 reb + 2 bs), Zakhar Pashutin (2 pt + 2 reb + 2 as), JR Holden (2 pt).
